Which label will Modern Ruin be released on?

Will it still be on SPV? Or with the return of Dependent , and the proposed "link-up" between Dependent and Metropolis, coupled with the fact that Met have released some previous albums, could it released through the latter. I already see that some of Daniels old Haujobbs albums will be rereleased via Dependent, as download and maybe on CD.

Whichever label they release it on won't change the music, I think. Guessing it will be something like SPV (EU) / Metro (US) since they do a rather good job at distribution. From observation, SPV tend to be very professional when it comes to bands with sizable followings. Again, these are just observations from interviews with other bands on that label (-like Skinny Puppy for example).

When I used to live in San Antonio, pretty much every CD shop I went to had 2-3 copies of SkyShaper and 1-2 of the 2 disc version. There is nothing like that where I live now, but, at the time, I thought that was rather cool. Being able to walk across the street and pick up a copy on the release date instead of waiting for a package in the mail.

Homes & Gardens is going on Dependent because the old band member had the rights to that album, if I can recall correctly. May be wrong, of course.

In addition to which label, I am wondering when the prospective date of release is. I apologize if this has been addressed elsewhere; I perused the forum threads but didn't see anything pertaining to this. And I've been out of the proverbial loop so to speak.

The SPV team is currently putting together a completely reworked release schedule starting August 2009. For the 25th anniversary of SPV there will be a sampler available plus new releases from ANNIHILATOR, THE MISSION and ICED EARTH in September; HELLOWEEN, SKINNY PUPPY, WELLE:ERDBALL and a new MAX RAABE DVD in October; DIE KRUPPS, THE ANSWER and a new studio album by KLAUS SCHULZE in December. All releases will be supported by substantial promo/marketing campaigns.

I sooooo wish I was going to see Skinny Puppy live, but considering the distance I would have to travel, I couldn't go to both Covenant and Skinny Puppy. Obviously I chose Covenant and don't regret it for a second.

I guess I'll just have to be patient, though I've never been very good at that.

…the end of our exploring, Will be to arrive where we started, And know the place for the first time.

modern ruin is on pre-sale on amazon.de, quite expensive, hm they say it's an import. So maybe it's cheaper in the states on amazon.com. Yes, it is, but they also state it as an Import. So where does this record come from? The Twilightzone? Maybe it's the black hit of space that we've been warned about for decades...
